EFL fourth round draw:
West Ham vs. Chelsea
Man Utd vs. Man City
Liverpool vs. Tottenham
10:07 PM – 21 Sep 2016
Dates have not been announced. So far, we know that these games will be played on the week of Oct. 24, and I can’t wait.
But are you confused as to what the EFL Cup is?
If the EFL Cup doesn’t ring a bell, it’s the League Cup, which for years had been known as the Capital One Cup. But now without a sponsor and the Football League being rebranded as the EFL, we now have the EFL Cup.
Enjoy it.
